Gigs The Global Tour begins...

Okay, here goes (deep breath) ...

Me, my husband and a couple of mates have formed a band (The Bell Street Blues) and are playing our very first gig on Friday 23 May at 9pm. The venue is The Globe PH in Swanage, Dorset, and we'll be playing what we think is a great selection of R&B tunes from 50s and 60s.

It is accurate to say that we are of, ahem, mature years (in fact I reduce the average age to 58) and we've never done anything like this before. Needless to say, I'm pretty nervous having only started learning sax relatively recently, but if it goes well, we will be seeking out other venues called The Globe, so we can continue the global tour!

So, if any of you are near to sunny Swanage on 23rd May and fancy a laugh, er I mean, would like to hear some quality music, we'd love to see you. And if you can't stand the music, the beer's excellent!

In the meantime, if any of you more experienced players have got any useful tips for performing in public, they would be much appreciated. I'm going to make sure I remain sober until the gig is finished in case anyone suggests otherwise!😉

It's odd, because it only seems to be this thread.

I had a Firefox update last night and after that the internet kept dropping out more often that usual. I'm on a waddayoucallit link to the modem via the mains supply, which does tend to lose the internet sometimes.

I had a problem with accessing talktalk mail earlier,too but that sorted itself after a while.

It is probably something to do with stuff at my end, no big deal - don't worry about it.

If I may make a technical observation, it may be that the white mice which make this laptop work are taking industrial action...

I suspect it may be set like the yard sale with no option to edit @Pete Thomas can confirm 🙂

I can probably edit as a moderator

I'll look into the permissions.
